Invisalign For Teens In Redwood City

Teens have a lot on to do,  between school, sports, arts, and their social lives, dealing with orthodontics can be one more point of stress in their lives. Lip biting, mouth sores, wax and “tightening” are all part of many kids experience in braces, however, now  Invisalign has become a very real option for most teenagers.

The Invisible option

Invisalign Teen clear aligner system provides a nearly invisible way of straightening teeth using clear, removable aligners that are custom-made specifically for your teen’s teeth. These aligners replace the wires, brackets, and bands that traditional braces use.

Eat, drink, and play instruments, sports and more

When you’re a teen a lot of time and experience happens with friends and school. Unfortunately, the restrictions associated with traditional braces can mean sticking out like a sore thumb when you’re not able to participate. The wires and brackets of metal braces mean passing up on some foods, not performing in band or dealing with brackets and mouthguards.  That’s the beuty of Invisalign aligners which are designed to be removed every time your teen plays, eats, practices or is in other situations which make wearing braces hard to deal with.

Effectiveness

Invisalign is not a panacea but it can be every bit as effective as traditional braces , but only when worn the 20-22 hours a day, every day, so it’s very important for your teen to be a compliant patient. A clinical study actually showed that teens wear their aligners more responsibly than most adults!
